No, the Kinetix 5100 is not a drop in replacement for the Kinetix 300. The Kinetix 5100 can functionally replace the Kinetix 300, however, there are significant programming differences between the 2 drives.
While the Kinetix 5100 is capable of replacing the Kinetix 300 in terms of functionality, it has a completely different programming scheme. The Kinetix 5100 is configured using the KNX5100C software that is available for free from the PCDC. There are many built-in features and benefits that make commissioning the Kinetix 5100 much smoother than the Kinetix 300.
There are several modes of operation for the Kinetix 5100 drive. For control over Ethernet/IP you must use IO Mode.
|
Control Mode |
Short Name |
Description |
|
Position mode (I/O terminal block pr input) |
PT |
This mode is sometimes referred to as Pulse Train Output or Step and Direction. The servo drive receives the Position command and commands the motor to run to the target position. The Position command is communicated through the I/ O terminal block and the signal type is pulse. |
|
Position mode (register input) |
PR |
This mode contains the drive indexing capabilities. The servo drive receives the Position command and commands the motor to run to the target position. Position commands are issued from the program registers (99 sets in total). You can select the register number with binary-weighted DI signals or through communication. |
|
Speed mode |
S |
The servo drive receives the Speed command and commands the motor to run at the target speed. The Speed command is issued from preset speed internal registers (3 sets in total) or by analog voltage (-10V...+10V) that is communicated through the analog inputs on the l/0 terminal block. You can select the command with binary-weighted DI signals. |
|
Speed mode (no analog input) |
Sz |
The servo drive receives the Speed command and commands the motor to run at the target speed. The Speed command can only be issued from the preset speed internal registers (4 sets in total, one is fixed at 0). You can select the command with binary-weighted DI signals. |
|
Torque mode |
T |
The servo drive receives the Torque command and commands the motor to run using the target torque. The Torque commands can be issued from the preset torque internal registers (3 sets in total) and by analog voltage (-10V...+10V) that is communicated through the I/0 terminal block. You can select the command with binary-weighted Ol signals. |
|
Torque mode (no analog input) |
Tz |
The servo drive receives the Torque command and commands the motor to run using the target torque. The Torque command can only be issued from the preset torque internal registers (4 sets in total, one is fixed at 0). You can select the command with binary-weighted DI signals. |
|
I/O mode |
IO |
The servo drive receives commands from the Logix controller through the EtherNet/IP network Class 1 connection. Commands are issued through the Add-On Profile (AOP) and use the Add-On Instruction instructions in the Logix Designer application. |
|
Dual mode(1) |
PT-S |
Switches PT and S mode with D signals. |
|
PT-T |
Switches PT and T mode with DI signals. |
|
|
PR-S |
Switches PR and S mode with DI signals. |
|
|
PR-T |
Switches PR and T mode with DI signals. |
|
|
S-T |
Switches S and T mode with DI signals. |
|
|
- |
Reserved |
|
|
PT-PR |
Switches PT and PR mode with DI signals. |
|
|
Multi-mode(1) |
PT-PR-S |
Switches PT, PR, and S mode with DI signals. |
|
PT-PR-T |
Switches PT, PR, and T mode with DI signals. |
|
|
(1) When these modes are used, the changes are immediate, which can result in unintended motion. |
